Wasabi Bistro
(Restaurants - Sushi)
2311 2nd Ave, Seattle  98121 • 206-441-6044
Distance: ~0.67 mi *

Come for terrific happy hour specials on sake and sushi from 4pm to 6pm and again from 10pm or 11pm until closing daily. The Japanese wine won't break your budget, and maki options like an indulgent Seattle Tempura Roll (salmon, avocado, and cream cheese, fried) are a steal at half price. Traditional Japanese entrees are updated and given new life, including standards like tempura and yakisoba.

Shiki Japanese
(Restaurants - Sushi)
4 W Roy St, Seattle  98119 • 206-281-1352
Distance: ~1.60 mi *
        Description: QUEEN ANNE. Chef Ken Yamamoto is the only chef in the state of Washington licensed to sell fugu, the potentially deadly (if not prepared correctly) Japanese blowfish. Whether you opt for this rare delicacy or one of the other carefully created entrees, you're assured of Ken's masterful hand in the exquisite textures and flavors on your plate. Choose from appetizers like kaki fry (deep-fried oysters) or gyoza, and main dishes like black cod with tempura, eel donburi, and salmon teriyaki. Shiki's sushi has a loyal following; sample toro nigiri, made with fatty tuna, or a crunchy shrimp tempura roll.

Chinoise Café
(Restaurants - Sushi)
12 Boston St, Seattle  98109 • 206-284-6671
Distance: ~2.32 mi *
        Description: QUEEN ANNE. Situation: you're craving sushi, your friends are clamoring for lo mein, moo shu pork, and pad thai. Solution: Chinoise Café. This Pan-Asian restaurant ignored the usual "one-cuisine" rule, and subsequently built up quite a following for itself. With nary a bad choice on the menu, you really can't go wrong, but favorites include sushi and sashimi dinners, tamarind basil seafood, and anything with Thai garlic sauce. Service is efficient and friendly, and there is a good selection of wine and sake.

3130 E Madison St, Seattle  98112 • 206-322-5800

Mashiko
(Restaurants - Sushi)
4725 California Ave SW, Seattle  98116 • 206-935-4339
Distance: ~4.11 mi *
        Description: WEST SEATTLE. Mashiko is not your traditional sushi bar. Spare decor features blonde woods and a saltwater aquarium, and the chef is given the privilege of music selection. But if you come in with a good attitude and your sense of humor intact, you're certain to enjoy the experience, not least of all because of the incredible sushi. Large portions are an immediate appeal, and the fresh taste of yellowtail, eel, and sea urchin will have you sold. A variety of rolls expands your options, and bento boxes are available if you want to ease the decision-making process. Sushi is definitely the draw, but you'll also find tempura dishes and other cooked entrees. Great sake and donburi too.

Toyoda Sushi
(Restaurants - Sushi)
12543 Lake City Way NE, Seattle  98125 • 206-367-7972
Distance: ~7.98 mi *
        Description: NORTH SEATTLE. It's hard to keep great places secreted away, and Toyoda's reputation has, for better or worse, become public knowledge. Better for business, yes, but worse for relaxed dining, as you can tell by the crowds that descend on the small eatery. Still, the food is a wonderful treat. Sushi is fresh and well-presented, and the nigiri is particularly good. Gyoza, the Japanese version of potstickers, are also celebrated by patrons, who munch them eagerly. Geoduck clams continue the seafood theme, along with black cod broiled with sake paste and other seafood entrees. The ambience is laid-back and friendly, bolstered by the charm and ready smiles of Mr. Toyoda and his wife.

(Restaurants - Sushi)
8105 161st Ave NE, Redmond  98052 • 425-881-8771
Distance: ~10.79 mi *
        Description: REDMOND. Downtown Redmond has quite a find in this wonderful restaurant, whose claim to fame is Japanese comfort foods and sushi. Rolls and nigiri are a fresh delight, or you can sample items like squid tempura, fried tofu, or broiled spinach. Seafood, beef, and poultry options abound, as do combination plates, which come with soup, salad, and tea. Other selections: a variety of noodle dishes, donburi offerings, and an assortment of sakes and beers.
